Not bad.....

I like it, it will get challenging for those who aren't good at typing by wave 5 or so :)
Especially on that Expert Mode.


I also recommend Bruce's Typing Wizard.

That one is cool. Unfortunately for me I learned to type with just my index, middle, and thumb of my left hand, and I have to look at the keyboard while I'm typing. I think I made it to level 13 with 92% accuracy and 29 words per minute.

I did it a second time, made it to level 32 on Normal.  Accuracy really drops off once the words start coming faster and faster.

There is a point around level 15 and up where you get larger words that are on timers and if you don't type them before they explode you then have random letters all over the place about to hit you.

Accuracy: 92.7%

WPM 51.3

Expert mode round 13... I`d say that`s pretty good considering I type with 4 fingers!

I'm way slower than you guys, but that's to be expected.  :cheers:

In expert mode I'm getting consistent low to mid nineties accuracy and around the thirties in speed. But in normal mode both accuracy and speed are lower.  :headscratch: Surely I should be quicker in normal mode? I also find that the bigger the word the easier it is to type.  The result I got in expert mode are pretty consistent with what i would expect though. I was faster than that once upon a time.

Probably something to do with the was I was trained to type back in the days of the old IBM golfball typewriter. Google that younger readers. Boy were they noisy? A couple of those in the office with fast typists and it felt like you were under machine gun fire all day.  :O

Accuracy 98% wpm 57.1 expert mode.  Last time I took a typing test I was in the 80s, but my mind is funny in that I take an above average time to recognize a word and react to it to retype it, no idea why that is but I've always been that way.
